The lab assignments required us to develop various algorithms: a scientific calculator, if-else statements, for & while loops, bubble sort, and insertion sort. Because this was an Honors-level course, we received an additional project assignment. I was placed in a group tasked with selecting a collaborative project to act as a GitHub contributor to resolve a real-world software issue. After reviewing and presenting several open-source projects of interest, the instructor approved our selection of a client request focused on implementing a feature that allows files to be pinned to the top of a list, with the option to unpin them as needed.

The selection menu will feature a pin button along with other commands. The pin button will be toggled between pin/unpin depending on whatever command the user is accessing.

Conclusion
Through implementation, this new feature would simulate a pinning taskbar as seen on a Windows device for files/applications. The reason we addressed this issue was so we can devise a solution to improve access to the desired folders/apps more efficiently, without having to look through everything to discover file contents.
Here's how it works:
Once the folder or application is located, the user must right click on it to see a menu with options such as “open”, “rename”, “delete” etc.
Once this menu is on the screen, the option to “Pin to taskbar” should appear. Otherwise, the user may see a “more” option instead, that will lead them to “Pin to Taskbar” if they select more. Once the user has clicked to pin it, it should appear on the taskbar.
If the user wishes to unpin the folder/app from the taskbar, the user has to right click on the icon (from the taskbar) to select “Unpin from Taskbar”.
